TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of electro-acoustic transduction, and in particular, to an acoustic device.

BACKGROUND

A general acoustic device includes a magnetic circuit system and a vibration system, the vibration system includes a voice coil and a vibrating diaphragm that are connected to each other, and the electrified voice coil drives the vibrating diaphragm to vibrate under the action of the magnetic circuit system so as to produce a sound.

A terminal of a flexible printed circuit board (FPC board) is in communication with the voice coil after being welded to the voice coil by using a spot welding process so as to supply power to the voice coil.

The vibrating diaphragm serving as a core part of the acoustic device such as a speaker has great influence on performance of the acoustic device. The vibrating diaphragm in the related art is a dome-type vibrating diaphragm, and the dome is made of an aluminum foil material. In a mass production process of acoustic devices 10, the phenomenon that the FPC board is broken down at a welding point position may occur when the spot welding temperature and pressure are overhigh during spot welding of the FPC board and the voice coil. The dome is arranged above the welding point position of the spot welding. Consequently, the FPC board may break down the aluminum foil dome, resulting in a short circuit, which makes the voice coil and the aluminum foil dome conducted, causing scrap of the acoustic device.

If an insulating material is selected as a dome material to avoid a short circuit of the dome, the strength and weight of the dome will be affected, and furthermore, the performance of the dome is affected.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the vibrating diaphragm 20 includes an edge 22 and a damper 21 for fixing and supporting the edge, the damper 21 includes a middle dome 21a and a circuit board 21b for fixing and supporting the middle dome, the circuit board 21b includes a fixing part 212 for fixing and supporting the middle dome 21a, a rim part 213 arranged around a periphery of the fixing part 212 and spaced apart from the fixing part 212 and a connecting arm 211 for connecting the fixing part and the rim part, the fixing part 212 is combined and fixed to an inner rim of the edge 22 and the middle dome 21a, the rim part 213 is combined and fixed to an outer rim of the edge 22, and the voice coil 23 is fixed to the fixing part 212 and is not in contact with the middle dome 21a. The edge 22 is annular and includes the inner rim 222 fixed to the fixing part 212, the outer rim 221 fixed to the rim part 213 and a bent part 220 for connecting the inner rim 222 and the outer rim 221, and the bent part 220 protrudes towards a direction away from the connecting arm 211 and is spaced apart from the connecting arm 211 to avoid the connecting arm 211. The fixing part 212 is provided with a conductive part 210 electrically connected to the voice coil lead 230, and an orthographic projection of the middle dome 21a on the circuit board 21b is not overlapped with the conductive part 210.

Herein, the circuit board 21b is an FPC board, and the middle dome 21a is a metal dome such as an aluminum foil dome. Due to the adoption of this technical scheme, the orthographic projection of the middle dome 21a on the circuit board 21b is not overlapped with the conductive part 210. Therefore, during spot welding, the problem of short circuit of the aluminum foil dome caused by the fact that the FPC board is broken down due to overhigh spot welding temperature and pressure can be avoided.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the middle dome 21a is made of an aluminum foil material or a composite using aluminum foil as a base material. Compared with a dome made of an insulating material, the middle dome 21a made of the aluminum foil material or the composite using aluminum foil as the base material has better strength and weight, thereby improving the quality of the acoustic device.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the acoustic device 100 in the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes an upper cover 3 and a conductive terminal 5 fixed to the frame 4, where the upper cover 3 includes a bracket 31 and a cover plate 30. The magnetic circuit system 6 includes a lower clamping plate 62, an upper clamping plate and a magnet, where the upper clamping plate includes a main body 61b and a peripheral part 61a, and the magnet includes a primary magnet 60b and a secondary magnet 60a.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the voice coil lead 230 is welded and fixed to the conductive part 210, and an avoiding notch 200 directly facing the conductive part is formed through the middle dome 21a, where the middle dome 21a and the voice coil 23 are arranged on a same side of the circuit board 21b, and the avoiding notch 200 is formed by inward recessing from the rim of the middle dome 21a to avoid the conductive part 210, namely a bonding pad. The middle dome 21a and the voice coil 23 may also be respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the circuit board 21b, and in this case, the avoiding notch 200 may directly penetrate through the middle dome 21a without recessing from the rim of the dome 21a.

As shown in FIG. 3, the voice coil 23 is of a runway type, and the voice coil lead 230 extends from a middle portion of a long axis of the voice coil 23 to a direction away from the connecting arm 211 and is electrically connected to the conductive part 210. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting arm 211 is an elastic arm.

The middle dome 21a and the voice coil 23 may be fixed to a same side of the fixing part 212 or respectively fixed to the two opposite sides of the fixing part 212. The voice coil 23 is arranged between the middle dome 21a and the connecting arm 211 when the middle dome 21a and the voice coil 23 are fixed to the same side of the fixing part 212.

The edge 22 may be arranged at the side, close to or away from the voice coil 23, of the circuit board 21b. The rim part 213 is sandwiched between the outer rim 221 of the edge 22 and the frame 4 when the edge 22 is fixed to the side, away from the voice coil, of the circuit board 21b.

In this case, the edge 22 is arranged on an upper surface of the circuit board 21b, and the bent part 220 protrudes towards a direction away from the connecting arm 211 to avoid the connecting arm 211. That is, the bent part 220 protrudes towards a direction away from the voice coil 23.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the edge 22 is fixed to the side, close to the voice coil 23, of the circuit board 21b, the outer rim 221 of the edge is sandwiched between the rim part 213 and the frame 4, the inner rim 222 of the edge is sandwiched between the voice coil 23 and the fixing part 212, and the bend part 220 protrudes towards a direction close to the voice coil 23.

Compared with the prior art, the orthographic projection of the middle dome 21a of the acoustic device provided by the present disclosure on the circuit board is not overlapped with the conductive part 210. Therefore, during spot welding between the circuit board and the voice coil, the problem of short circuit of the aluminum foil dome caused by the fact that the circuit board is broken down due to overhigh spot welding temperature and pressure can be avoided, and furthermore, the finished product rate of the acoustic device is increased, and the manufacturing cost of the acoustic device is reduced.
